Christopher Eccleston to Return to 'Doctor Who' With David Tennant for 60th Anniversary / Futurism

"23rd November is always an exciting day for Doctor Who fans- it is of course "Doctor Who Day". 59 years ago, the hit BBC Sci-Fi show launched on BBC One, and since its launch has become a global hit ever since.

In 2023, thr blue box show will be celebrating its 60th Anniversary, and it's clear the BBC have some huge tricks up their sleeves. At the end of the last episode, we saw Jodie Whittaker [the Thirteenth Doctor] regenerate into... David Tennant. Yes, Tennant is back, this time as the Fourteenth Doctor. Alongside Tennant for the 60th anniversary, Catherine Tate returns as Donna Noble. But, that's not all. Today it has been announced another big Doctor Who star is returning alongside Tennant.


That's right, Christopher Eccleston is returning as the Ninth Doctor! Today, Big Finish announced a blockbuster audio story that has been three years in the making. Commemorating the show's diamond anniversary, Eccleston and Tennant join forces with Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann for a trip of a lifetime.

Doctor Who: Once and Future will begin rolling out from May 2023 and will release monthly as seven installments. The producer of the series, David Richardson, said:
"An astonishing array of talent has come aboard to be a part of this epic eight-hour anniversary story. It's a huge Doctor Who party and a massive celebration that has been years in the making."
As part of the announcement, Big Finish excitingly released the official synopsis for the adventure, which reads:"

"The Time War. The Doctor has been injured and brought to a Time Lord field hospital. His body glows with energy, but this is no regeneration into a future form – instead, the Doctor's past faces begin to appear as he flits haphazardly between incarnations...

Staggering to his TARDIS, the Doctor sets out to solve the mystery of his 'degeneration'. Who has done this to him? How? And why? From the Earth to the stars, across an array of familiar times and places, he follows clues to retrace his steps, encountering old friends and enemies along the way.

Tumbling through his lives, the Doctor must stop his degeneration before he loses himself completely..."
